in reply to Running a CGI Script as user

Be sure you look at HTTPD::UserAdmin, rather than trying to put a wrapper around the htpasswd program, which will require some annoying management of /dev/tty in ways that even us experienced hackers dread.

Also, Lincoln Stein did a "manage the passwords from the web" script somewhere. Look around for it. Sorry I don't recall better than that.

    ok, great! I found his article, and his script here, which, just saved me about a month worth of work, Thanks Lincoln!

    The only thing I need to do now is redesign the html UI, which kinda looks like some random computer hacker put together (kidding! just a joke..) which is the fun part :)
